Amidst recent reports that SHINee’s Taemin is leaving Chungdam High School due to problems fulfilling its attendance criteria, a spokesperson from the school has come forward to deny this, saying, “It is not true that his attendance is substandard.”

On the 2nd of March, through a phone call with EdailySPN, the spokesperson stated, “Although it has become generally known that Taemin is leaving school due to attendance problems, this is in fact different from the truth. If he had indeed failed to meet attendance expectations, he would of course have be dismissed from school. In this case though, he is leaving of his own accord.”

Prior to this, Taemin was caught up in a controversy when the subject of his leaving school was reported by the media.

Currently in his third year, Taemin is transferring to an arts school in order to better accommodate his promotion schedule with idol group SHINee.

SHINee’s maknae Taemin will be transferring into an arts high school in order to better accommodate his hectic schedule.
On March 2nd, a representative of SM Entertainment spoke with Newsen and revealed, “SHINee’s Taemin will be leaving Chung Dam High School to attend an arts high school.”

Taemin, who will be entering his senior year this year, has decided to transfer in order to focus on his schedule for SHINee’s Japanese advancement. The decision came about because his career commitments made it difficult for him to meet the required attendance figure for Chung Dam High School.
Netizens commented, “It’s an important year for him, I hope the change doesn’t mess anything up” and “He’s leaving in order to fulfill his dreams, so I don’t think it’s anything bad. I respect his decision.”

On the 27th of February, SHINee’s maknae TaeMin was a guest star for KBS Cool FM’s Super Junior Kiss the Radio, and later official photos of the session were uploaded onto the program’s homepage, including a three-picture set of the maknae doing his “aegyo”, melting the hearts of fans.

SHINee’s Taemin’s goddess appearance has become a conversational topic. Netizens are dishing out compliments to Taemin after pictures of him at Super Junior’s Kiss the Radio were uploaded.

The pictures show SHINee’s maknae with his pale skin and blonde hair, with a pen against his mouth, making a “blowfish” face. He is also shown smiling subtly while pretending to read a sheet of paper, trying to look as interested as possible.
His milky-white complexion and cute eye-smile led to netizens calling him “goddess,” a term that boasts of his perfect good looks.

Netizens commented, “Taemin has always been pretty,” “it’s impossible to express his cuteness in words,” and “Minho is a god and Taemin is a goddess.”

SHINee fans were delighted with the candid interview the boys had on the February 18th episode of KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Relay“.

The interview kicked off with member Jonghyun revealing that he didn’t think himself to be handsome. This prompted the members to ask Jonghyun about what his mother thought, and with a laugh, Jonghyun responded, “She thinks I’m handsome.”

He then shared a childhood photo where he’s posing in just his swim trunks. He grinned, “I was a lot prettier as a child“, and the show put up the caption “Sexy Jonghyun” next to the photo, which amused viewers greatly.

When asked to choose a physical attribute that he was confident in (aside from his looks), Jonghyun replied, “Shoulders, maybe?”

During the show’s ‘truth’ corner, member Minho was asked to choose his ideal woman, to which he shyly replied, “I like women older than me.”

When asked why, he continued, “For some reason, I like older women more than younger women. I feel more comfortable and at ease.”

The reporter then revealed that she had heard Onew was quite the drinker. Although Onew refused to admit it, Key confessed, “Onew-hyung pours the alcohol! He doesn’t just drink it, he pours it into his body!”

Taemin was then asked whether he thought he had the oldest mental age in the group. He replied, “False!“, and then attempted to go into a long and serious discussion to have some fun with the question.

Minho continued, “When we aren’t able to take care of him, he always tells us it’s okay and is always trying to be understanding.”

SHINee’s Key and Taemin recently lent their charms for a’ marine boy’ photoshoot with “Elle Girl“, and shared some fun facts about their personalities and lifestyles.

The magazine wrote, “The photoshoot was held at a boutique hotel in Seoul under the concept of expressing a natural and pleasing side to the two members. SHINee, who is known for their sophisticated fashion, paid attention to every detail of the shoot, even on accessories like shoes and glasses. Their modern poses and active attitude brought out awe from the staff on set. They are, after all, SHINee.”

In the accompanying interview, the two were asked to answer a total of 30 questions regarding their personal tastes and day-to-day lifestyles. Continue reading →
